U.S. Department of Energy - National Science Bowl

"The National Science Bowl® is a highly visible educational event and academic competition among teams of high school students who attend science seminars and compete in a verbal forum to solve technical problems and answer questions in all branches of science and math. The regional and national events encourage student involvement in math and science activities, improve awareness of career options in science and technology, and provide an avenue of enrichment and reward for academic science achievement."

The Global Sun Temperature Project

Join schools from around the world from Dates to be Determined as they determine how their geographic location (i.e. where they live) affects their average daily temperature and hours of sunlight. Specifically, students will:

Measure the temperature and record the number of minutes of sunlight per day over a common week.

Compare and contrast the results with classes from all over the world.

Determine how proximity to the equator affects average daily temperature and hours of sunlight.
